The short version

Alan Andreini is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Sep 2015: Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund, LP (New York, NY — pooled investment fund — 2015; $24M reported sold to 17 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Sep 2015. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Andrew Robin (1 shared filing), John Michaelson (1 shared filing), John O'Brien (1 shared filing) and VINCENT CAPONE (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Alan. Each name links to their own page.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Michaelson (3 issuers, $63.3M reported sold, 2015–2019).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Michaelson has 3 companies on file and $63.3M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 6 court cases matching the name, 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 14 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 1 public filing for Alan Andreini and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 1,416 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

4 differences found between the filings for Alan Andreini — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Nov 1, 2011 – Sep 17, 2015

Form D filed 1,416 days after the first sale — Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund, LP

The filing says the first sale was Nov 1, 2011. The Form D was filed Sep 17, 2015 — 1,416 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1,401 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Form D · Sep 17, 2015 ↗Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund, LP — PartnerFacts page ↗
Sources
Note · Nov 1, 2011 – Sep 17, 2015

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund, LP (latest filing Sep 17, 2015)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 17, 2015 (first sale Nov 1, 2011). It reports $24,000,000 sold of an indefinite amount offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

The two records do not overlap in time: this page has one filing dated Sep 17, 2015; the other runs Feb 19, 2020 to Feb 3, 2022.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

1 of 1 offering reports sales commissions totalling $365,000; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $100,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
